China's semiconductor segment might have witnessed another breakthrough, as a new report claims that SMIC is trialing the first in-house DUV lithography machine.
China's Chipmaking Ambitions Have Led To Producing In-House DUV Equipment, Hoping To Cater To AI Demand
The demand for semiconductors in China has been pretty massive recently, mainly due to the push from domestic AI firms to create computing products. The government is convincing major Chinese firms to switch towards in-house products, and with that, the Chinese chip supply chain sees massive demand. Now, in a report by the Financial Times , it is disclosed that SMIC is testing DUV equipment from the Shanghai-based startup Yuliangsheng, and if the trials prove to be successful, it could potentially mark the foundation of Chin
